Can you save yourself by yourself?
Some people believe if they are ever vulnerable they are not safe. Letting our emotions have a voice(which is vulnerablity) feels scary sometimes, especially around judging types of people. Around supportive people, it feels freeing or just the opposite. When we clinch our fists to just survive, our human needs are not being met. What we are doing is locking ourselves inside steel cages to protect us from harsh realities of life. We're protected to some degree, while at the same time caged, keeping us away from loving hugs(without the steel of protection in the middle) from our children and all the other wonderful blessings that follow. Changing a heart of stone to a loving heart is a decision away but when people make that choice, LIFE today becomes filled with needs being met that we didn't get met as children. Reminds me of people who have bars on their windows to keep burglers out. Sure, they are protected from robbers but what about fire? I've heard of people not being able to get out of their homes in time to save their families. Death or robbery? We can have other protections that keep us safe to some degree but to be 100% safe comes with a price tag of death, (either soul/physical). To be vulnerable is to accept that we will always have negatives along with the positives and that is where our power comes. What follows is a satisfying life full of loving, nurturing people.
